Hi everybody, I'm fairly new to the game so please forgive me if my terminology is a little off..
Anyway, I'm installing three aftermarket gauges in a car (12v) - theyre the type that are black-faced until the engine is switched on. Normally i'd have no trouble wiring them up to turn on simultaneously as the key reaches the 'on' position. However, just for fun, I'd like to have them all switch on one after the other instead of at the same time. I'm thinking half a second delay or something in that vicinity
Here is where my lack of terminology comes in - I realise that I will probably need some sort of timer to fit to the second and third circuits to effect the delay, but I have no idea exactly what to ask for. Alternatively there may be a cheaper way to do it that I haven't thought of.
It's probably a simple answer for most of you. But if anyone can tell me what I should be looking for, that would be greatly appreciated!
